Saturday: Went with YC and Hannah and Granny to see the Peter Pan 'ballet', then went and got ice cream at Ella's Deli.
Sunday: Went biking to the arboretum with Hannah and YC, where we walked around in a storm drain and I took pictures of reflections.
Sunday/Monday night: I had a bunch of dreams, 2 of which I still remember.
In one, I was thinking about a set of 7 robotic telescopes deployed in Antarctica by NASA. There were 7 of them, spread out across the continent, so they could see around clouds. They were in Antarctica because the air there was relatively clear. They were robots because nobody wanted to go to Antarctica to maintain them. I thought about how the robots could have a cozy room full of pillows inside them, anyway.
In the other dream I was jumping around using plastic grocery bags as parachutes. As I was trying to determine the optimal way to hold them, I found that my laptop made a really nice glider, and I could stay up in the air indefinitely by holding it above my head at the right angles. It also helped that it was really windy.
Monday: Went to work, felt sick, started biking home, got a flat tire (this was a tube that I had repaired several days earlier), threw up in a trash bucket, then layed on the couch for hours and had a lot of thoughts that made no sense, and dreams that made more sense (mostly about eating ice cream and drinking ginger ale at my parents' house, but also one about walking around with YC in the fall), and listened to the roommates work on Doom levels, listen to Sbindon, and play Age.
Tuesday: Layed on the couch, skipped work altogether. YC came over and made me soup and hot lime juice and we talked about apartments. I also played Pikmin a bit but mostly got frustrated by it.
Wednesday: Woke up early and beat the caves I had been all frustrated at in Pikmin on Tuesday. My headache was slowly wearing off, but not so much yet that I felt I should go to work. Fizz and Atticus got up and Fizz was wearing a weird hat while Atticus left a bowl of generic brand cheereos on the counter to get soggy.
I felt well enough to start working from home, and started the long process of trying to get Woody to tell me what the heck was up with the SVN repositories while I made further attempts at repairing the inner tube on my bike's back wheel. Woody got me looking into Skype and A-Day ended up calling me on it and talking to Fizz while I was upstairs cleaning the vomit out of a trash bucket. Then Fizz and I went outside and hacked for about 10 minutes, and then YC called me and told me to come rescue her, and then Woody called and gave me a bunch of stuff to do, and I told him I'd go do it as soon as I was done rescuing YC.
Then I caught a bus and went to YC's place, where I found mostly recovered YC. We went for a walk, since I had to go out to buy a new tire for my bike anyway (the old tire had a big tear in it, which is what I think was causing my tubes to keep getting torn up). We stopped by Greenbush Bakery and got some donuts. Then I got the new tire and YC used the McDonald's bathroom, and then we ate some of our donuts, and then we split up so that she could go grocery shopping while I headed home to do all that stuff I just told Woody I'd do, and also stop by the bank to deposit my 6 hundred something dollar tax refund check.
After I got home Fizz sprained his arm playing with the cat.
Even though I'm 'working' (from home) today, I feel it has been the most fun day of the past week.
"When I say I did something wrong, the last thing I want is for
someone to agree with me"
- Fizz, after Luke told him that it was his fault that he sprained his
arm while playing with Potts.
